EDITED I'll do my best. First of all, Max is just the beginnings of the G4 series. Adam, I usually try to reserve "thank you's" to private messages, but I think your reply to my post warrants a public display of gratitude. It seems I can't open any business publication lately without reading about how much useless (and even harmful) information is posted on groups like SI, a practice that often gets blamed, as it should, for increased market volatility, as poorly-informed investors rush into and out of bad trades. Of the five threads I follow here on SI, the Apple thread is far and away the most orderly, civil, USEFUL thread in the group, due largely to posts from people like you, Eric (MVP), soup, and others. Thank you. Anyway, I looked at some really informative Max stuff here: http://www.sci.fi/~saffron/transamour/max.htm This guy really seems to know his stuff, but of course you'd be a better judge of that than I. An excerpt: By now, you probably noticed that I'm somewhat biased. I must admit that I consider "Max" to be a damn fine piece of technology. Yes, there are faster CPUs. Yes, there are CPUs with even higher memory bandwidth. But those are low-volume chips for UNIX servers, typically costing over $4000 each, burning more than 80 watts of power, and being totally unsuited for a desktop machine, let alone a notebook computer! In contrast to those luxuries, "Max" will significantly change the computing experience of people at large. Sorry for the cheerleading, folks. Back to business! Mark
